Job description

Creative Fabrica is a subscription platform serving millions of creators, designers, and crafters worldwide. We're built on the principle that everyone can be creative. We remove what stands in the way: expensive software, technical expertise, and time-consuming production.

Our Studio AI suite offers more than 26 specialized AI tools that automate technical work: generate custom images, remove backgrounds, create fonts, and produce publication-ready designs in minutes instead of hours.

Our content library contains 15+ million commercially-licensed fonts, graphics, SVGs, and templates, giving you professional-quality building blocks without the expense or time of creating assets from scratch.

As our Financial Accountant, you will play an important role in Creative Fabrica’s day-to-day accounting operations and month-end close. You will be responsible for core accounting activities including Accounts Payable, bank and balance sheet reconciliations, journal entries, VAT and other tax-related activities, payment processing, and supporting the preparation of accurate financial information.

This role is designed for an experienced accounting professional who wants to broaden their responsibilities over time. You will gain exposure to more complex accounting processes, international tax matters, reporting and finance projects, with the opportunity to develop into a broader Accountant role.

You will work extensively in Oracle NetSuite, collaborate with colleagues across the business, and liaise with vendors and external parties. As part of a small and hands-on Finance team, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of processes, identify issues, and contribute directly to improving how Finance operates.

You will report to the Head of Accounting.

• Reconciliations & General Accounting
  • Perform bank, credit card, and AP subledger reconciliations
  • Prepare and post journal entries, including recurring entries and revenue recognition
  • Support month-end/year-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, and management reporting
  • Investigate discrepancies and unusual transactions proactively
• VAT, Tax & Compliance
  • Prepare Dutch VAT returns (OB, OSS, ICP) and support WKR compliance
  • Assist with international VAT/GST/sales tax filings and liaise with external tax advisors
  • Stay current on relevant Dutch/EU tax regulation changes
• Audit & Process Improvement
  • Support external audits with schedules and documentation
  • Improve NetSuite processes, bank feed/expense integrations, and identify automation opportunities (including AI) across Finance workflows

What you'll need:

• 5+ years in a similar accounting role, with strong fundamentals and Dutch GAAP experience.
• Hands-on experience with Oracle NetSuite.
• Solid grasp of Dutch/EU VAT (OB, OSS, ICP filings) and WKR
• Experience working with international VAT, sales tax or GST is a strong advantage.
• A degree or relevant professional experience in Accounting, Finance or Business Administration.
• Strong attention to detail and a structured, organised approach to work.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to investigate issues and find practical solutions.
• Strong communication skills in Dutch and English, both written and spoken.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a small Finance team.
• Experience in revenue recognition.

Nice to have:

• Experience in international B2C/SaaS/subscription businesses.
• Experience in High-volume transactions
• Experience in international VAT/GST
• Experience in consolidation

We would also like to offer you:

• Lunch: On days you work in the office a warm fresh lunch will be provided for you.
